    Question Advice appriciated

    Hi All, I've been repairing pinballs and fruit machines for some years but I've just fixed some speaker attenuators into a Pachislo called Bulldog and now I quite fancy a machine for my collection.

    So a very simple request - can you folk please recommend a good machine with an an entertaining LCD which would make a good starter model?

    Cheers,

    Mark

    Mark,
    That will be very hard. Simular to picking a wife for you.
    What do you like ?
    Don't like ?
    Colors ?

    Have you looked at any videos in the museum ?

    We will need more Info, please

    Since I believe you're from the UK, it might also help us help you if you could let us know what is available in your area. Remember with pachislos, theme is king for your personal enjoyment factor. I know someone who is so opposed to smoking they would not even consider a King Camel because the guy on the front looks like "Joe Camel" and has a cigar hanging from his mouth. Albeit, it's a fun machine to play.

    Thanks both, I'm totally relaxed on themes - gameplay is more important. The only machines I seen available in the UK are from Steve here: http://tinyurl.com/8olfe at the moment I was looking at his Azteca Legend. Any comments welcome.

    Azteca Legend is a really nice machine,

    I have a small review of it in the museum.

    Big Bear has a lot of info on his site too.

    I would not recommend the million god or gold x. they both get boring fast.

    The Azteca Legend, Outlaw (which seems to get better reviews) and the Thunderbirds from the choices I saw all look like winners to me.

    Hi All, Azteca Legend arrived today from Steve Hood via a very easy ebay purchase. What a great machine! Thanks all for the advice - my kids adore this machine
